Abstract

A steerable stylet for a medical implantable lead has an inner lumen, into which the steerable stylet is insertable for navigating a distal end of the medical implantable lead to the desired location for attachment to tissue. The steerable stylet comprises a wire, a tube and an actuator. By means of the steerable stylet, the distal portion of the lead may be bent in desirable degree and, when the medical implantable lead is bent, the distal portion of the medical implantable lead is pivotal by means of the actuator to which the proximal end of the wire is non-rotatably connected. The tube is connected to the actuator by means of a torque limitation device which, when exceeding a predetermined torque force, will disconnect the torque connection between the tube and the actuator. A method for manufacturing of a steerable stylet for a medical implantable lead includes the step of connecting the stylet tube to the actuator by a torque limiting device as described above.
